December 12	Re: Buddy Bashing??? 12/11/02
Rob "laffey land'', yet another fine example of the need for IQ testing in conjunction with voter registration.

Santa is neither Democrat or Republican. He live at the North Pole which is not in the U.S., so he does not aspire by our politics. Bob
December 12	The Right Idea!!
John, I enjoyed your little "contest" today regarding callers naming the titles of Christmas carols. I especially enjoyed the elderly lady who sang along with the songs as they played. She had the right idea about being happy as she stated, "Every day I get up my legs work and my brain works". Life is a gift and she was correct in her assumption about enjoying every moment of it. In 1981 I was diagnosed with Cancer. Twenty-one years later I'm still enjoying the "little things" in life such as spectacular sunrises, the sounds of the birds on a Spring morning and the smell of wildflowers in the Summer. In spite of the fact the "demon" shows its ugly head every once in a while (I had two surgeries in July and August) I still count my blessings and enjoy the "gift". This time of year brings many people happiness. However, there are some who dislike the holiday season. Enjoy the time we have here. This is not a dress-rehearsal! Also, I'm still awaiting the mug-shot of Buddy without the rug! John V
December 12	Re Buddy Bashing
Hey you Buddy supporters... have you read the series on Buddy in the PRO JO? Buddy comes off as having guts... long as Buddy can strut and show off his stuff. The guy is a bully boy Showman who fears nothing because he is coke-high devious, vicious... and mean as the worse goon. Buddy is in love with Buddy, not Providence. I vote with Meg Curran... the city would be much farther along if buddy had left the stage years ago. He overstayed his welcome and became part of the problems. And supporters of Buddy are now part of the problem, for if they tolerate what he did, history will repeat.
December 12	Zen ? of the year
Question: During the day where can you find the most Providence Police cruisers taking coffee breaks together? Dunkin Donuts, Racotti Sub Shops, Water Place Park, Swan Point Cemetery. If you guessed Swan Point Cemetery way down in back toward the Blackstone River you have guessed correctly, so if your looking for real estate with a good police presents then buy a lot @ Swan Point!
December 11	Buddy Bashing???
John, im a big fan of your show. your dry sense of humor is hilarious especially when your going at it with Joel from Worcester or Chris Young. My political views are conservative and I agree with 90% of your views, except when it comes to Buddy. My question is this, why do you only post emails that bash Buddy? I send frequent emails defending him and they never get posted. hmmmmm, interesting. Rob "Laffey Land" PS FREE BUDDY!!! the greatest visionary this god forsaken state has ever seen. the only politician in RI history who ever got true change done.
December 11	disapointed
Hi John, I like your show very much. I recently responded to an article in the Newport Daily News "Agencies need help to help others" referencing an agency-- Women's Resource Center of Newport that was in desperate need of help. I phoned them offering $$ and help. To my amazement I was put into someone's mailbox and "dismayed" left a messages..... guess what? No One ever called back. I feel very sorry for the people I could have helped but due to this agency's incompetence people will go without help. I am new to the area... is this the way it goes here? dt
December 11	Re: buddy still has people with money supporting him 12/6/02
John Hazen White's other hero's are those CEO who cooked the books and made off with millions and built multi million dollar homes in Florida. You know when I think about it does take courage or a good set of (e testicali di palle). NGC
December 10	(no subject)
I wonder if Lott washes his sheets with his shirts
December 9	Buddy
Hi John, Last Thursday the subject of whether or not Buddy's potrait should be displayed in Providence City Hall. I have come to the conclusion it should be hung, in the post office! That's where some felons end up. Thanks, Kenny
December 9	Disappointment!!!
John, I'm very disappointed in you. I thought (by this time) your website would have an exclusive mug-shot of the convicted thug (Cianci) minus his hairpiece. C'mon! You're letting us down. Do we have to wait until the National Enquirer gets the story?
December 6	Re: Your Mayor 12/4/02
this guy has it right--there's no renaissance over here in south providence -- too many people of color and not enough mafiosos!
December 6	Mascot needs a face lift!!!
John, I need a new photo for my mascot. NFL Fantasy Providence Swindlers Goin Postal Do you think you can help me out. Maybe somethink in orange or stripes. I'd pay money for a photo with no hair and those Mr. Magoo glasses. Great shows. Keep up the good work!!! Ray Pouliot
December 6	buddy still has people with money supporting him
Who would have believed it...John Hazen White's son thinks Cianci is a profile in courage! Gag. We need new economic leaders in this state, not these kiss ass CEO's who are catering to the mob types in the unions. This guy White is a perfect example of the rich who got richer under Cianci while the little guy who couldn't afford the pay-offs starting sinking into oblivion.
December 5	Buddy cartoon
My latest..... and my Malice in Plunderland poem post away if you want!!! MALICE IN PLUNDERLAND By Charlie Hall It was a long long time ago When Tony Freitus did Get annoyed about a lease Where he'd put in a bid Though Tony had the lowest price Downtown said, No you lost You've got to get an envelope Of "Thank-yous" to the Boss Thank-yous? No way, Tony thought I will not play this game I'm going to the FBI- Revenge is what's my aim The operation took a name By which it could be known. "We'll name it after Buddy's scalp." And thus borne ‘Plunder Dome' So over many, many months Tony paid some dough To unsuspecting patsies- On his Candid Camera Show He soon became friends with the guys On the Board of Tax And found out with a little gift Tax bills could be relaxed Joe Pannone would take the money He ‘claimed' for the Mayor But it's final resting place- Nobody knew quite where. And there was also David Ead Who finally did come clean When learned he did his laundering Through a Coke Machine The Mayor's indictment finally came The press, they gathered quick He tried to hold it up for them But it was way too thick "97 pages long But here you'll find no racket There's no crime or kickbacks here And no stains on this jacket! These charges are ficticious! And I am barely phased The FBI? Hey, I'm more scared Of really windy days!" Then a secret tape was shown By prosecutor Rose Buddy muttered, "What's wrong Rich, Was your Blockbuster closed? 12 months later Buddy got His lawyer on the case Warning prosecuters they'll have Egg-bert on their face April 17th, 02 Judge Torres said, "Let's go!" (He'd become the state's most well-known judge ...Next to Frank Caprio) Arlene, Dan, Jack, and a couple of Jims, New York and Boston press, Jeff and Lou and Walt and Gene……. And all the Journal's best Would spew their views and thoughts on air Most musing without worry Some even thought themselves as stars (Charlie) Baskt-ing in their glory Yes, some press got way too involved One told some tasteless joke, One guy got banned, and one received A tape from his ‘Deep Throat' Don Imus came to Providence "Hey, Mayor your hair went gray!" Buddy chuckled, "My hair Don Can change shades every day!" Each day the cameras clicked and aimed The circus never lagged And Buddy'd be about to bust But Torres had him gagged For three months we heard witnesses Telling what they know Many ending up with noses Like Pinnochio Those who ran the tow trucks To the person would insist That they all gave quite willingly To stay put on the List. The strict RI campaign laws To this group weren't a threat They gave the mayor checks that were from Their friends, their kids, a pet Then there was that building That was rented to the schools. Although a former body shop- The kids thought it so cool! It was trashed and dirty With bad fumes one should not whiff But Ed said, Hey, it's nothing That those school kids haven't sniffed" We heard about the mystery bribe: A mom paid that would yield A job for her quite troubled son Where he would wear a shield The son, though didn't make it through "Hey," mom yelled, "that's a jip I want that cash returned to me!" Alas, she had no slip. It seemed the whole department now Was wrought with spreading cancers But Chief Prignano worried not- Yes, he had all the answers! Now to Club University The state's ‘cream' all would go But when Cianci tried to join With clenched jaws they said "No." So when members asked to renovate And permits were their need Buddy shared with them the words That everyone should heed: "The toe that you step on today May one day cause you sorrow If it's connected to the ass You have to kiss tomorrow." On video we saw the tapes Of Frankie C's charades Taking secret kickbacks We guess- for hearing aids Finally after ten long weeks Arguments began With no defendants opting first To tell all from the stand For 9 days 16 jurors met Offering little clue As the press each day would search For any interview And then with little warning The jury said ‘we're done' Acquitting Mayor Cianci On all his counts…but one With elections looming close Buddy pondered, then Suprising all Rhode Island Said "I will not run again." He shuddered to believe the truth That no more he'd be boss. "Who'll run the town and clown around? Who will stir my sauce?" Judge Torres sentenced Buddy To five years in the Pen Giving him time to report December 6th was when And Buddy thought, "Well thank you Judge If I don't have to go- Then while my lawyers handle briefs I'll go on radio!" Many picked on PRO-AM "What you've done is perversion!" But Buddy laughed- ‘cause luckily There was a new diversion Harwood was the topic that The whole state now was on Buddy, looked up "Thank you God But mostly thank you John!" So here is where we'll finish this- There's no end to reveal Because as most folks would admit This Mayor has got ‘appeal' It'd be so sad if prison's where Our Buddy's story ends. Although at least might enjoy Seeing some old friends To end, no matter what you think Of this legend with great flare You know some how, some way, some time He'll once again be Mayor!
December 5	dog gifts for Christmas
Hey there, I know you are trying to keep it light today, but the kids and I have three spoiled dogs, two cats and ten chickens that don't need one thing. For Christmas, in their honor and in honor of those of our pets that have died, we give a honking donation to our local shelter. This helps them take care of the hundreds of pet shop (re: puppy mill) puppies that will be turfed in January and February after their cuteness has worn thin. Also, those of your listeners who have their heart set on a purebred, might want to wait until after the holidays and check out the pounds and shelters in the months after Christmas! Saves a bundle and helps out a critter looking for a home. Thanks, Laura
December 5	whitney and buddy
whitney and buddy Ü two has beens. for diane sawyer to waste the time of the american public showcasing this pathetic individual and her pathetic husband is silly. even more silly are the folks who would pay any amount to buy her products. this is her attempt to regain acceptance to boost sales of her new cd. someone should put her and michael jackson away with each other for awhile. anyone that says that arlene is wrong is foolish she merely told the truth that most others either don't know or refuse to say. Is there no limit to which this guy won't go to enhance his own agenda. The most notorious people in history have some off limits.
December 5	Hate Crime
John, What's up with someone destroying religious items? Maybe the guy should have been charged with a hate crime, not just a day off. This crime would be the same as if he had spray painted a Swastika on the wall.
December 5	The Magoo Look
Perhaps Buddy's personal consultant advised the glasses so Mr. Cianci wouldn't have to contend with all the inmates at Dix being attracted to him. Better safe than sorry.
December 4	ask the question
I was surprised that you did not ask the Harrah's spokesperson about the allegation reported by one of your caller's regarding Harrah's not paying out to winners. I thought you would ask about that...did you not want to or something? MK Warwick
December 4	Re: WPRO ---Another Felon co-host?
My money is on Joe Mollicone as the next AM radio co-host with Kass - Mondays will feature open lines, Tuesdays will be devoted to "How to Live on the Run", Wednesdays will probably be dedicated to Financial Talk, Thursdays will be Life After Incarceration (something Buddy can fill in with when he returns) and Fridays open lines! Elizabeth
December 4	the whole cardinal law thing
hi john!!! hey, as always, your shows are the best. john, when is bernard law going to be held responsible for his role in the debacle that is the catholic church. i was just checking out cnn and msnbc... it seems he knew about a priest that gave away cocaine and pot for sex (and one of his dealers even wanted to make a video of the misdeeds). another took in young women wishing to become nuns, but he told them to have sex with him in the name of Christ. on and on, law's name surfaces in some sort of "hide amd move" routine. can't he be prosecuted for at least "aiding and abetting?" i'd love to hear what your other listeners have to say on this. i will look up the info and send it along. thanks for your consideration. paully no. prov.
December 4	Re: Cianci for Mayor 12/2/02
JAMES MICHAEL CURLEY, mayor of Boston and governor of Massachusetts from 1914 to 1950 was reelected from prison.Also remember, Cianci ran against Joe Garrahy and lost by 195,445 votes! So there is hope. Not everyone is as gullible as the dim wits of Providence.
December 4	Your Mayor
John, Only in Rhode Island can a convicted thug be spotlighted on national television just two (2) days prior to checking into Club Fed proclaiming his innocence while belittling the likes of Arlene Violet in the process. As a native Rhode Islander, I find it repulsive this man has been given special treatment and actually had the opportunity to choose the place for his incarceration. He is laughing at all of us as he prepares to take a nice five (5) year vacation and to return to the millions of dollars he stole while in office. While on television, he claimed that Providence is a much better place than it was before his tenure in office. Has your mayor walked down Potters Avenue or Prairie Avenue lately? Ask the people living there if the city is "better". John V.
December 3	JOEL FROM WORCHESTER'S PARENTS
DEAR JOHN: I LISTEN TO YOU ALOT AND CANT BELIEVE THAT ATLEAST TWICE YOU ASKED JOEL ABOUT HIS HAVING HIS PARENTS OVER FOR THE HOLIDAYS. DIDNT THINK YOU WERE THAT CRUEL NOT TO REMEMBER THAT HIS PARENTS ARE NOT ALIVE!!!! ELLY OF WARWICK
December 3	e-mail
John how many e-mails do you receive a day, they are really good and really enjoy them. Matter they are the reason I check your site every day.
December 2	WPRO ---Another Felon co-host?
John, Now that Buddy is almost off to the big house where he belongs-- will WPRO start searching for another felon co-host to share the airwaves with Steve K(iss)ass, the self-proclaimed pitchman for good ethics and clean government? Are they looking for people with resumes full of criminal misconduct? This GREAT EXPERIMENT belongs in the Rhode Island Radio Hall of Shame! Nevertheless, the search is on to look for an old oak tree in front of WPRO where a yellow ribbon will be tied in the future. Phil... from Edgewood
December 2	WHY SMOKE THE PEACE PIPE WITH HARRAH'S KHEMOSABI
John, This is stranger than the unholy alliance between Sundlan and Cianci!! Please ask that woman from Harrah's if they are willing to sign a declaration that neither Hardwood, nor his law firm, or anyone associated with it is a consultant or on their payroll whatsoever!! No Kevin Nilen's, Delorenzo's, nobody!! Then and only then will I vote for a casino in this state. Keep up the good work Khemosabi-my faithful friend jb-Barrington

December 2	Re: Native scam
I know WHJJ is romancing the Native Americans for the advertising revenue and I don't expect to hear this opinion or see this email posted. Having said that, why does the chief continue to talk about "health and education" for his tribe being an issue? Perhaps I misunderstood what he was referring to. Surely he was not talking about only "his people"'s health and education... or is there a reservation in Rhode Island that I missed? Perhaps there are separate schools that the Natives send their children to... and their nation has it's own health services paid for by the Natives themselves that I am not aware of? Surely the Natives in RI who are on unemployment, disability and social security are on the Native versions of these tax payer funded programs and not the ones that are administered by the evil white men who run the United States! They cannot have it both ways! If they want to be a separate nation, let them separate and not take the money of citizens of the USA any more!
December 2	Casino 's
John, The casino question was it allready on the ballet ? Didn't the voters already say no ? BOB from cumberland
December 2	cell phones
Hi John.. Wish I could call from work..but cant! Just wanted make the point that people should be able to talk on cell phones with the hands free accessory the same way they talk to someone who is sitting next to them.. Whats the difference if you are talking into a headphone or with someone else in the car! Carol from North Kingstown!

November 30	Re: Arlenes mistake 11/25/02
Arlene DID NOT make a mistake!!!! Nicole Cianci is on and has been on welfare all along--this coming from an impeccable source. Any one as bright as Arlene would NOT make such a statement if she didn't have her facts straight--and she does. When will everyone realize that Buddy is nothing but a big con artist who has a knack for making himself look good? John and Arlene tell it like it is. Bravo for them!!!
November 30	WHJJ on the internet
Hey JD, I don't agree with anything that Tim Mckee has to say,with the only exception being that I also wish your station were on the internet so I could hear the show. Mike-Port Charlotte
November 30	Who`s this Mr. M ??
Mr. M. I heard this guy call you, John. You were really nice to him. He ponced on you. He sounds like a real asshole lefty. He really was nasty to you. I guess he is a replacement for tim from the green party. So, I guess it`s Mr M . from the jackass party...
November 29	New book name?
Mike- Will you be changing the book name now to The Prince of Dix? We'll talk. ch
November 28	How the mighty have fallen
JD! I wonder how the "Prince of Providence" will make out as he is quickly transformed into the "Queen of Dix!" - hope the inmates assure that he is well-"received!" Robin
November 28	the rug
whats going to happen to the rug. should it be put it on display at the dunkin douhnut center?
November 28	pleasure of watching
John.... are we going to have the pleasure of watching Cianci going to the slammer in cuffs and leg irons ala Sarrault? It would sure make my year. It might make up for the transfer to Ft. Dix debacle.... just to have that picture embedded in my mind forever. Steve
November 27	Cianci
Bet the Coward sneaks into Fort Dix earlier. He does not have the guts to let the public see him getting his punishment. Maybe now that he is gone the feds will investigate the whole city without any one being afraid.
November 27	More corruption and scandal please
A simple request of Mr. Murphy and Mr. Cicilline. First let me say that in my opinion, Rhode Island plays an very insignificant role to national politics and to the economy of our country. So Mr. Murphy and Mr. Cicillini, as indicated by voters in this past election, continue on with RI style corruption, and if possible a hot juicy scandal or two, to show Rhode Islanders just what they voted for, and what they expect. Oh, my God can you imagine a Republican General Assembly in Rhode Island, Oh my God don't even say that. That would be down right awful. NGC Florida
November 27	Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Who is that talking??? Did someone say something? Why is this clown still here? Dont they have Green Parties in CT? Are there no radio stations to invade over there? The Republicans are taking over my friend, its time for a change in this country, a change thats been needed for quite some time now. Liberalism has spread like a cancer in our society and is killing all the morals, standards and decency this great country was built on. Sit back, shut up and watch how its done!!

November 26	Re: Tim McKee, Like Cancer, .. 11/23/02
Word had filtered all the way to Connecticut about the Arlene vs. Monkey Boy Cianci's Feud, and I did call the dinosaur one day. (..you can pick up the station on the net.) It was ugly to say the least. Gee...who to believe? A discussion about Rush "Limprod" and Tom Dashle and whether talk radio listeners were threatening was going and I relayed the many times I and others had been threatened on the radio stations. I was never attacked after being on the competition because....Green Candidates, party leaders and peace activists were NEVER allowed on brand X !! (Real free speach,huh!) I wish WHJJ was on the Internet. Many office workers and people in South County would love to hear it, static free.

November 26	THE O'LEARY FACTOR in Cranston
John, What's up with my lame-duck mayor, John O'Leary in Cranston? It seems like, all of a sudden, he's emerging as the fearless financial wizard in Cranston. If he knew what was goin' on--- he'd run for re-election and be re-elected by the hardworking and honest taxpayers of Cranston. All of a sudden, It seems like he and his sour-puss losing Democratic hacks have all the answers to Cranston's financial woes. Where were they the last few years? What will John O'Leary's last act as lame-duck mayor be? Maybe he'll try to hook up with hellhole and low-bond rating East Chicago, Indiana to create a sister city "bond" where the two cities can share cultural and economic opportunities. My advice to him is if he wants to leave the door open for a possible future in politics --- don't let the door kick you in the ass on the way out! Go Laffey! Phil---- from Edgewood

Nicole's problem is substance abuse.How much of what she says is the truth??? Probably not much!!! Mike -Port Charlotte
November 26	hey
Hey, John: Just a note to say hey. Your stuff on Cianci was dead-on. He's shown no remorse and still expects a break at every turn. And he usually gets one. I don't get to hear the show that often. But your interview with Chris Young was an absolute classic. Hard to believe 1 percent of those who voted cast a ballot for this idiot. Then again, this is Rhode Island. Actually, Chris sounded a lot like a regular caller of yours named Tony. Have they ever been seen together? Happy holidays! Jimg P.S. Are you as sick as I am of Christmas beying hyped weeks before Thanksgiving? We go from Halloween to Christmas in a snap of the fingers.

November 26	Cianci
Cianci gets his wish. That yellow belly sap sucker, coward couldn't face a REAL prison. He cried like a baby and maybe offered to sing for the feds. And by the way, Where was Kennedy, Langevin and all the others when Rosemary Glancy got sentenced. She got no break till it was to damm late! She got sent to Texas. Stealing and taking drugs do pay with the feds.

John: Is there any truth to the rumor that Miss Cleo will be Buddy Cianci's replacement? Should be a ratings bonanza. Cleo and Kass.
November 25	Hunters
John The two people that were shot last year were hunting on private property WITHOUT permission. The last thing you want to do is wear orange when hunting where you don't belong. If you remember one of the hunters put orange on before the rescue people got there. The hunter said he did not have any orange on when he hit him. The hunter did have permission to be there but shot someone without it.
November 25	Cianci/Violet
Hi JD I can't believe the publicity this issue has generated (Cianci/Violet). To me it just shows that Ciancy, with his gifted ability as a politician, has been able to manipulate things in a way that puts Arlene in a bad light. This is his final show before he leaves. I have occasionally listened to Kass and Co. for 15 to 20 min at a time to get the flavor of what they are doing. I have lost so much respect for Kass (whom I always thought was a straight shooter with a moral compass but "what you do speaks so loud, I can't hear a word you are saying.") Unlike you John, Kass will not allow a differing opinion on this matter, to the point of talking over people who are sticking up for Arlene, and hanging up on them. Pathetic. I continue to support HJJ, you John, and Arlene. Stay true to your convictions. This one will not be easy. This too will pass. Rick Tiverton
November 25	Arlenes mistake
Hey John Now that Nicole has set the record straight the only thing left to do is for Arlene to admit she had false infomation and say she is sorry. Do you think she will do that? The girl has now said that Arlene is wrong.It is comming right from the horses mouth. Arlenes info came from second hand.

When sending a message to a person of your ilk it becomes very difficult to show restaint regarding the words one would like to use. Perhaps you have no understanding that the hate that you exibit will destroy you professionaly and mentaly. And finally describing Mr. Kass and Mayor Cianci as two old idiots, is an insult to every senior citizen.Remember some day if you are lucky, you too will reach old age. Giacomo D'Agostino
November 24	AN OPEN LETTER TO THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS
Dear Federal Bureau of Prisons, I am writing to you on behalf on Vincent A. "Buddy" Cianci, Jr. You need to get clued-in about the importance of Mr. Cianci and how to treat him while he is your guest! Other cities have produced mobster celebrities such as "Bugsy" Siegel and "Whitey" Bulger, and we get awfully attached to our local gangsters. Buddy Cianci is a legend here in Rhode Island, and you need to be brought up to speed about exactly how charming Buddy can be, and why you need to adapt to his wishes. Look, there is even talk about a movie about Buddy Cianci. He is more important than you will ever be! See, Providence is Buddy's town, and the closer he is to Providence, the better it will be for everyone, you included. Do you get my drift? For starters, he has a $600/ hour lawyer who could make your life hell if you do not cooperate. Other local bigwigs and pols have previously setup a legal defense fund for Buddy, meaning he is well funded, so just watch it, OK? He has alot of important friends such as Congressmen Patrick Kennedy and James Langevin. Here in Rhode Island, we have an Old Boy Network, which consists of much back-scratching, and we do not take kindly to a potentially independent department such as the Federal Bureau of Prisons which may not do the Rhode Island Shuffle and may not show one of our 'boys' the deferrence that is due. Please go easy on Buddy. He is a VIP. Just because he is in prison --should not mean downsizing his lifestyle-- at least not by much. We did everything we could to make him feel at home here in Providence. While he was here in Providence he lived in the Presidential Suite at the Omni Biltmore Hotel. That sort of environment is really where he reigns supreme. A dingy cellblock is below him. Do you have a room with a view? Something spectacular, on the very upper floor is preferred. Ideally, it should be spacious, but not too big because the starkness of correctional decor can diminish the cozin
